💥 Think Like a Man Too Reviews

Personal Review

Honestly, I went in expecting a fun, lighthearted comedy, but left feeling pretty disappointed. The first ‘Think Like a Man’ had a certain charm, but this sequel just felt forced. Kevin Hart is usually hilarious, but here it felt like he was trying too hard, and it became grating. The plot was all over the place, and I found myself checking my watch more than once. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it, unless you’re desperate for some background noise while you do laundry.

Professional Reviews

• IMDb: “Dumb but not in a funny way. There were maybe three spots that were funny. The first one was hilarious and I laughed all the way through. I barely was able to stay in the theater for this one. They should have spent more money on the script and more time.
• nightfilmreviews.com: “Not really thinking like anything or taking to heart any of the subject matter from the source material which the film is based off of, Think Like A Man Too finds the group of friends in Las Vegas for Michael (Terrence J) and Candice’s (Regina Hall) wedding.
• IMDb: “Kevin Hart has way too much screen time. His jokes were corny, uninteresting. Really, why. So predictable. I wanted to fast forward so many times. The pacing of the movie was terrible. I have never rolled my eyes so much. Really sad This was was terrible.

Audience Reactions

Many viewers found Kevin Hart’s over-the-top performance exhausting and detracting from the overall enjoyment.: While some appreciated the cast’s chemistry, most agree it fell short of the original’s charm and humor.

Overall Consensus: A largely unfunny and unnecessary sequel that fails to recapture the charm and wit of the original, relying too heavily on tired Vegas tropes and Kevin Hart’s hyperactive performance.
